With the view to dropping base ball and

New President Will
Retom Scoring in
Nebra-ska League
HASTINGS, Neb., Jan. 11. (Special.)
There will bo a radical change In the scor
ing of base hits In the Nebraska State
Icaguo nest season It C. J. Miles, tho new
president, can get tho different clubs to
adopt his suggestion for reform.
The fact that two-thirds of the players
were credited with batting averages of
.300 or more In the official statistics for
the 1913 season does not appeal to tho
new executive as a good advertisement
for tha league.
"While It may help the batters the
crediting of unearned base hits Is an In
justice to the pitchers and should bo
stopped," he declares. "If the batting
averages of tho league for the last sea
son are correct It Is a mlghtypbor show
ing for the pitchers, but I. believe that In
a- good many cases th$ figure? wero
padded by the scorers."
Persons who have scanned the figures
of a number of leagues have come to tho
conclusion that there Isn't a base ball
organization In the country, and never
has been, that could boaat of as many
.300 batters as the Nebraska State league.
One of the Btato eague clubs, basing its
claim on tho official figures, has boasted
that It has more batters In this class
than Rny other club In the United States,
The methods of scoring in the State
league are admittedly lax. All scorers
are employed by the horn clubs and the
tendency has been to give the home bat
ters a little more than the benefit of
every doubt.
As February is the time for sending out
contracts for reserved players it Is be
lieved the makeup of the league for the
coming season will be settled by that
date. As soon an it I known what town
are to compose tho league President Miles
will pall the schedule committee together
to make up the 1811 itinerary. At tho
Btate league meet'ng In Kearney a sched
ule of 12 games without open dates was
recommended. President Miles hopes to
arrange the schedule to terminate on or
j about Labor day.
